Harper echoes my earlier sentiments

Because I’m so politically insecure and on the fence (as you can tell by my meek writings which are bereft of vitriol and sputum), I like to apprise you of any name-brand politicians or columnists who happen to say much what I just said moments earlier.  It’s an ego thing.  Plus we own a website property called ConservativeGroundswell.com, and to make its name make sense I need to make out like there is one.  I’ve given up trying to make this web site’s name make sense to people.

During a speech in Amherstburg, Ontario on Wednesday, Harper vowed to convene a party meeting on the subject as soon as MPs return to the capital.

“Let me be as clear as I can be today, our caucus will be meeting in Ottawa next week,” he said. “This is not how Parliament should work, and as soon as we get back I will be asking our caucus to put this government out of its misery.”

A short while earlier, Harper told reporters in nearby Ridgetown that there is no way he can support the Liberal government’s fiscal plan, now that it’s been turned into an “NDP budget.”

“I’m flabbergasted by the amount of taxpayers’ money these guys are prepared to throw around to keep themselves in office,” he said, blasting Prime Minister Paul Martin’s announcement of an extra $4.6 billion in spending requested by NDP leader Jack Layton.

“It will be impossible for us to support an NDP budget,” he added. “We’re already dealing with Liberal corruption and an NDP budget gives us no reason to support Liberal corruption.”

I don’t think he digs the arrangement.
